The time we leave will depend on flight schedule. Some flights leave Rome in the morning so it could be as early as 4am. It takes a good three hours to get to Rome airport.
If you are on the Delta flight that leaves at 1:20pm, leaving at 6am will give you ample time for your flight. It will get you there about three hours before departure.
